Yes, you're right, the subject is very complex. Meanwhile I also think it would have been better to write several articles in which everything I say is explained in detail, because not everyone seems to have understood what I am about.
But you have understood the essence: It's about what opinionated reporting does, how dangerous it is. Objectivity is enormously important in order not to endanger people who have nothing to do with it, even entire population groups.
the perpetrators [...] were all men.
And that way of reporting is in a public context exactly right: No one would think of hating all men after your experience and the neutral report! That you despise the perpetrators, and perhaps your family and friends to whom you reported the attack, too, is an acceptable reaction. But "the whole world" doesn't have to hit them too...
Thanks for your thoughts and your personal example.
